‘It’s Total Chaos Internally at Meta Right Now’: Employees Protest Zuckerberg’s Anti LGBTQ Changes

Meta employees are furious with the company’s newly announced content moderation changes that will allow users to say that LGBTQ+ people have “mental illness,” according to internal conversations obtained by 404 Media and interviews with five current employees. The changes were part of a larger shift Mark Zuckerberg announced Monday to do far less content moderation on Meta platforms.
“I am LGBT and Mentally Ill,” one post by an employee on an internal Meta platform called Workplace reads. “Just to let you know that I’ll be taking time out to look after my mental health.”
On Monday, Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company would be getting “back to our roots around free expression” to allow “more speech and fewer mistakes.” The company said “we’re getting rid of a number of restrictions on topics like immigration, gender identity, and gender that are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate.” A review of Meta’s official content moderation policies show, specifically, that some of the only substantive changes to the policy were made to specifically allow for “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation.” It has long been known that being LGBTQ+ is not a sign of “mental illness,” and the false idea that sexuality or gender identification is a mental illness has long been used to stigmatize and discriminate against LGBTQ+ people.

How can homosexual behavior ever be considered perfectly normal?

They need to re-think that mistake. It was a mental illness up to the 1970s. Then they screwed up and changed their mind.

“I am LGBT and Mentally Ill,”
YES, you are.

If there was ever an honest discuss about the history of homosexuality, there would have to discuss the connection between homosexuality and pedophilia.
A great deal of homosexuality through out history involves boys or young men exploited sexually by older men.

Anti? Or just not making that a key element in your business model any longer. Special treatment is NOT equal treatment.

They’re acting like they must pay attention to such comments, rather than just ignore them.
To: Libloather
Strange how, if you don’t tip the scales in favor of these groups, you’re automatically against these groups. Neutrality is not allowed.
